Description
This 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S has been a very special car in our family and was inherited from my father-in-law, who cared for it meticulously throughout his ownership. It is a beautifully specified and very well-maintained example of the sought-after 996-generation Carrera 4S, combining classic Porsche performance with subtle modern upgrades that make it a pleasure to own and drive today.
Powered by the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six engine producing around 315bhp, paired with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel-drive system, the car delivers the engaging driving experience the Carrera 4S is known for. The odometer shows just 53,932 miles from new.
Within the last year, important preventative maintenance has been completed, including an upgraded IMS bearing, replacement clutch, and rear main seal, giving added confidence to the next owner. The car has clearly been maintained properly and never spared attention when needed.
Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over an extended Metropol Blue leather interior, it remains an elegant and timeless specification. The original 18-inch 'Turbo Twist' alloy wheels sit over red brake calipers and ventilated discs, fitted with Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres.
Factory features include climate control, electric windows, electrically adjustable memory seats, Porsche Stability Management, rear wiper, heated rear screen, and trip computer. The original audio system has been upgraded to the Porsche PCCM Plus system, adding satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB and auxiliary connectivity while still retaining an OEM appearance. A stainless-steel Top Gear exhaust system has also been fitted, enhancing the sound of the flat-six perfectly.
The car comes with its original handbooks, service booklet, service history folder, historic MOT certificates, and original CD player.
Condition is very good throughout, with only minor age-related marks including a few small stone chips, light scuffing to the lower front valance, and slight wear to the driver's seat bolster consistent with careful use and mileage.
This is an honest, low-mileage and tastefully upgraded Carrera 4S that has been genuinely cherished, and it deserves to go to someone who will enjoy and appreciate it as much as my father-in-law did.
